You can check out his website to scroll through his newest tattoos and artwork and to stay posted on the different places he'll be tattooing. We were lucky enough to have him at our shop, Off the Map Tattoo, and he'll be back October 12-14, so if you missed him the first time, make sure you stop in this time to get your next custom tattoo with him!

PINT SIZE PAINTINGS is a new book focusing on amazing paintings done on a very small scale, while still having a large visual impact! Get out your magnifying glasses, get your smallest brushes ready and focus your eyes on these tiny works of art! Over 200 of the industry’s best artists will be featured in this first volume displaying their talents to the world on micro canvases! Each carefully selected artist will be given two mini canvases that are 2” x 3” to paint for the new book. This book is the first publication of it’s kind, focusing on painting on a very small scale while capturing the viewer with pint size powerful imagery. The completed body of work will not only be published and on shelves worldwide, it will also be a traveling miniature art show being displayed at various art galleries around the country! If you or another amazing artist would like to participate in this project, or future Pint Size Projects, including Pint Size Sculptures, please refer them to our website for portfolio reviews and consideration. Get ready to witness BIG THINGS on a small scale! - Durb http://www.pintsizepaintings.com/ http://www.hellcity.com/ http://www.durbster.com http://www.hellcitygear.com/ http://www.aztattoofest.com/ Please *reply with your mailing address* if you would like to participate in Pint Size Paintings so we may ship your mini painting package to you now! The book is not just tattooers, it’s for any badass painters that are interested in participating. Not every painting will make it into the book, the best will make it into publication, the others will be a part of the art show and possibly in the second volume of Pint Size Paintings. Participating Pint Size Artists: Guy Aitchison, Michele Wortman, Hannah Aitchison, Shawn Barber, Phil Holt, Durb Morrison, Gunnar, Dee Dee Seruga, Kurt Wiscombe, Big Gus, Paolo Acuna, Phil Spearman, Brian “Monk” Taylor, Ryan Hadley, Mario Barth, Eric James, Greg Drake, Aaron Della Vedova, Phil Robertson, Darin Slavik, Juan Salgado, Rodney Raines, Nathan Kostechko, Gabriel Cece, Russ Abbott, Sean Peters, Rev.

With the deadline right around the corner to submit your pieces, we have decided to extend the deadline by another month, to august 1st, 2009, allowing those remaining artists that have not yet finished, as well as late additions, a little more time to complete their pint size canvases. Many of you have asked as to whether or not you will be able to get your artwork back after you have completed the release form and have shipped it out. The answer is YES, we fully intend to return your artwork to you once the book is published and the traveling art show is done. If you have any questions in regarding the deadline or anything else, please contact durb@hellcity.com.

The shoot for our New Reality show on the CLVR.TV Network went great on Saturday. We will keep everyone updated about when it will be done and when we are shooting the second episode. Thanks to everyone who did drop by. Also Terry Mayo won third place for "Best Back Piece" at the "Masters of Tattooing" convention that was in Addison this past weekend. He entered the "Spacemonkey" Tattoo.

Hello Tattoo world!!!! So I am back in Los Angeles, but at the moment I am working alone, in a private space in the artist district of downtown LA. This spot is temporary.... I will be staying in LA for good though, soon moving to a new, fancy, final location where everyone can come find me. Not planning on moving out of the area. So local clients and people in So Cal, come get tattooed! My website is now the only place to get a hold of me. I deleted my myspace, so dont try and find me on that website. I no longer feel the need to have people see and know everything about my life(plus its just to hard to keep up with it and maintain it). I just enjoy tattooing a lot! So come get tattooed if you wanna get to know me. Also, the only convention that I have confirmed at the moment- Paradise Tattoo Gathering september 17th-20th After this show, I will not be attending many shows at all.... Maybe one or two a year, traveling is hard work man, i want to hang out and work at home. This is where im at my best. I will keep everyone posted on when the new spot is up and running. Thanks and enjoy your summer! ps. I finished my pint size paintimgs!!! be on the look out....
